Church Baby Shower


Last weekend was a busy, but good weekend in the Bookout household. Some sweet friends from church threw Jason, Cameron and I a baby shower. We had alot of fun and are thankful to everyone for helping us get ready for our new baby boy! We truly feel blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends in our lives. The girls arranged some fun games for us to play--Guess what type of melted chocolate candy bar is in this diaper?, The Price is Right with baby items, and Guess the Baby Food Challenge...the last was a struggle for me! I vow to never feed Cameron mac and cheese baby food--I've promised the little guy.

Right after the baby shower we headed home, unloaded some gifts and then hit the road to Atlanta to catch a wedding reception for a buddy of Jason's from work. Saturday was a long day! Sunday morning we met up with Jason's family and grandmother in Atlanta for a quick visit. Before heading home we hit up a few baby stores and browsed around the area. Strangers are now starting to feel comfortable to ask me how many weeks along I am, or if we are having a boy or a girl. Jason is still wanting me to atleast one time act totally shocked and confused like I'm not pregnant when a stranger asks. He would really enjoy that awkward situation.

Oh yeah! Our glider finally came in. I have been a little anxious about getting our little man's room set up and now we have a piece of furniture! The other night I couldn't sleep so I found myself with a bowl of grapes just sitting in his room in the glider that I have a feeling I will be sitting in quite often snuggling with our son in just 3 months! He is getting close to 2 lbs now! Over the next 15 weeks we'll both be packing on a few more pounds.

Chubby Bunnies Camping Trip!


This weekend Jason and I went camping along with some of our good friends from our Sunday School class. We missed half of our group because of the bad weather. We ended up having a great time and things didn't get as bad as were predicted. We got to hear the park ranger come over the intercom several times warning us of tornados. Luckily we got all our tents up just in time before the rain and hail. I told Jason today this is probably the last time Cameron will go camping in my belly though...the desire to pee every 30 min. makes things a little unconvienent when primitive camping- still we had such a wonderful time! However, we plan to take him back in style in Mom and Dad's pop-up at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground after he is here in our arms. 3 months isn't too young to visit Mickey and his friends right?

We had a wonderful time at Mt. Cheaha and are thankful for the good friends that God has blessed us with. I am also thankful for the comfy bed we got to nap in when we got home :) Looking forward to seeing family tomorrow on Easter!
